Mourning Jewelry

Mourning jewelry dates back to the 1400s but it became popular in the mid 1800s.

During this period, works of art and jewelry were created out of hair and other materials to commemorate the loss of loved ones.  These mourning pieces served as an eternal memorial and reminder of the lost loved one.  

Today, the talent of turning hair into art is still being pursued.
